Doha: As part of efforts to enhance the readiness of startups to keep pace with digital transformation and foster a culture of innovation in Qatar, the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), through its Digital Incubation Center (DIC) and in partnership with Scale AI, launched the "AI for Startups - Training Workshop Series."

According to Qatar News Agency, the program kicked off last week with the first session as part of a comprehensive training track comprising six applied workshops aimed at helping startups develop practical solutions powered by artificial intelligence.

The workshops aim to equip entrepreneurs with advanced hands-on skills through sessions covering AI prototyping, creative coding, the development of intelligent AI agents, responsible AI, trust, and cybersecurity. The program also featured a final demo session, in which participating startups presented their prototypes and received direct expert feedback.

On this occasion, Eman Al Kuwari, Director of Digital Innovation at the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, stated, "This training series comes as part of the Ministry's ongoing partnership with Scale AI and provides a practical foundation that helps startups integrate AI technologies into their business models from the early stages. Through hands-on tools and applications, startups are able to explore modern technologies, test them, and transform them into viable prototypes. This initiative also contributes to bringing advanced expertise into Qatar's digital innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, enabling startups to build high-value, data-driven products and strengthening the overall readiness and scalability of the startup landscape."
